After many phone calls, and working with UPS, we have located the package. It somehow got lost in the abyss, but according to UPS it will be here tomorrow morning. The way this has been going, I don't want to count the chickens before they are hatched, but I should be able to finally ship out the kits tomorrow. I will post as soon as they arrive.

Thanks for that - Cyclebrakes have revamped their site, and their pricing , and I couldnt find the custom hoses anyway.

Last set of pads I got were $23- - now they are $37- and if the hoses have gone the same I will order the bits from NZ and make one myself.

I read somewhere that 43'' was the length, but I checked last night and combining the two hoses that I have gave me 46" and the top section is as short as I would want it as I have bar raisers, so 47'' it will be.
Or 1500 mm of hose if I go the Kiwi way.

Just spoke to the franchise guy who does the hoses on the plant for our construction equipment.

He was quite dismissive of SS braided hose - his opinion was that modern rubber hose will outperform SS braided hose in any test - according to him rubber hoses are a lot better than the used to be , and cope easily with the high pressure control and operating systems on huge pieces of construction equipment.

It is also much cheaper - he quoted $35- for a 48" rubber line with a banjo each end, and $105- for a SS braided one.

Much cheaper than the auto specialists around here, and he comes to our door and makes to sample on the spot.

The bolts finally arrived today, so the kits are ready to ship. Thank you all for being so patient, I was even beginning to wonder if they actually existed, or if someone was just playing a joke on me.
